Description
Released in February 2020, fantasy-themed video slot Ice and Fire Slot has two separate 5×5 grids representing the opposing elements of ice and fire. It’s the brainchild of the Dreamtech Gaming team, a new addition to the Yggdrasil family, and it comes complete with a cascading symbols feature.
The game’s set-up means there are a whopping 120 Paylines in all, and everything that happens on one of the reels affects the other. Join the icy Thundra tribe to the left of the screen and the blazing hot Vulcan clan to your right as they battle it out for supremacy with each spin. It’s got more than a hint of Game of Thrones about it! (Oh, and the soundtrack isn’t bad, either.)
How to play
Play Ice and Fire Slot from a mere 13p all the way up to £30 – and as you’d no doubt expect, the game works well across all mobile devices.
Symbols on the reels include rings, white tigers, snow owls, the ice queen and ice dragon on one side, and foxes, horses, magic orbs, fire dragons plus the fire queen on the other.
The fire and ice queens are the most rewarding emblems, both shelling out at 53.33x stake for five in a row.
Less lucrative playing card values 10 through A are also part of each reel set.
Ice and Fire Slot special features
Special symbols
The book symbol (featuring a dragon’s eye) serves as the Wild in Ice and Fire, and it replaces the other regular icons save the Scatter. But it can also become a shared Wild, meaning that if one rocks up on a reel, it gets copied in precisely the same way on its opposite number.
Look out for the dragon’s egg Scatter – you’ll need to land three of these in the usual way to access the free spins.
Bonus features
Cascading Symbols
Land a winning combo and the symbols which contributed are whisked away, allowing fresh ones to tumble from above and fill the spaces until no more winning combos remain. (So, basically, you can win several times from one spin.)
Free spins
Bag three Scatters and 10 free spins are yours, with extra icons granting you more freebies, up to 25 wagerless whirls. What’s more, a multiplier applies in this round and increases with every winning combo by a factor of one.
Free Games feature
Access this little beauty by scooping a quartet of consecutive cascade wins. That allows you to choose the fire or ice dragon, either of which will grant you eight, 10 or 15 free goes. What’s more, 100 or 150 additional Wilds will be thrown in, too.
It’s also possible to retrigger this perk so that you could earn up to 30 free spins in all.
Jackpot
There’s no progressive jackpot in Ice and Fire Slot, but the maximum win is well over 19,000x stake.
Return to Player (RTP)
As with most Yggdrasil games, volatility in Ice and Fire is medium to high, while RTP is set at a pretty generous 96.64%. You can expect some bigger wins here, as long as you have the patience to keep playing!
Verdict
Clearly, you’ll have lots of fun with Ice and Fire Slot if you’re already a fan of all things fantasy, while you should also find the dual-reel structure highly engaging. This is a great-looking game as well. Many slots have featured dragons before, but these beings are always popular.
